Rockstar Games confirmed that preloading Grand Theft Auto VI will require up to 212GB of storage, with digital downloads opening Nov. 10 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game launches Nov. 19. PlayStation downloads begin at midnight local time; Xbox downloads start globally at 12 a.m. GMT, which falls on the evening of Nov. 9 in parts of the Americas [ign.com][theverge.com][pcmag.com]. The file size varies by device, and Rockstar advised players to make room before downloading. The earlier preload date gives digital buyers nine days to download the game before launch. Code-in-box versions are expected at retailers from Nov. 12, when buyers can redeem their codes through their console’s digital store and begin preloading [gamesradar.com][gamesradar.com][neowin.net]. Players with lower-capacity consoles may have less room to spare: Gizmodo noted that a 212GB file would use more than half of the Xbox Series S’s reported 364GB of usable storage. Boxed editions contain a download code rather than a game disc, and Rockstar plans to offer a printable cover-art poster and Leonida map as a free digital download on launch day [gizmodo.com][theverge.com][pushsquare.com][ign.com]. Highlights: • File-size comparison: At roughly twice the file size of Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA VI would be Rockstar’s largest game by file size [neowin.net][gamingbolt.com]. • Map and artwork: Rockstar will sell the double-sided physical poster for 99 cents or include it with a Rockstar Store purchase [ign.com][pushsquare.com].
